Finally, Sunday Oliseh Speaks On His Decision To Resign As Super Eagles Coach

Oliseh

Former Super Eagles captain and coach Sunday Oliseh has spoken out for the first time since quitting his role as head coach, saying it was not an easy decision to make.

“Deciding to resign from the coaching job of the Super Eagles is the most difficult decision I ever took in my whole life. It took me a whole month to decide it. Most of the time I was leaving in Belgium so I was not reachable to give comments but it got to a time I had to think of my two kids and
the 21 years of marriage I have had with my wife and decided to pass the button to another person,”

The ex. Dortmund and Juventus Midfielder continued saying: "When I started my football career at the age of 16 in Belgium, the Europeans never taught me how to dribble the ball or pass they only taught me how to be disciplined and what to do at the right time"

They just polish what we as Africans have,” Oliseh, who was an integral member for Nigeria to the 1994 African Cup of Nations said. Oliseh had a one year stint with the Super Eagles before resigning in February this year due to the inability of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, to honour the terms of his contract.

However, he said he has no bad blood with the NFF and enjoyed coaching the three-time Africa Cup of Nations champions.
